by The highly popular isekai anime “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation” has officially confirmed that its third TV anime season, titled “Mushoku Tensei III: Jobless Reincarnation,” will begin broadcasting in July 2026. Alongside this exciting announcement, a brand-new teaser visual has been unveiled, and plans for a new smartphone game have also been revealed, further expanding the franchise.
About “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation”
“Mushoku Tensei” is based on the light novel series written by Rifujin na Magonote, which originally began serialization in 2012 on the novel submission website “Shousetsuka ni Narou.” Since then, the series has grown into one of the most influential works in the modern isekai genre, with over 17 million copies in circulation across novels, manga adaptations, and digital editions.
The story centers on a 34-year-old unemployed shut-in (NEET) who, after being expelled from his family home, tragically dies in a traffic accident. He is reincarnated into a fantasy world of swords and magic as Rudeus Greyrat, retaining memories of his previous life. Determined not to repeat his past mistakes, Rudeus sets out on a lifelong journey to truly live, learn, and grow as a person.
Anime History and Growing Popularity
- Season 1: Aired starting January 10, 2021, earning praise for its high-quality animation, deep character development, and emotionally grounded storytelling.
- Season 2: Broadcast from 2023 to 2024, depicting a more mature phase of Rudeus’s life, including marriage, family bonds, and devastating loss.
In 2026, the anime celebrates its 5th anniversary, marking a major milestone for a series that helped redefine expectations for isekai anime by focusing on long-term character growth rather than instant power fantasy.
Season 2 Recap: Tragedy and Growth
The second season showed Rudeus achieving happiness through marriage and building a family. However, the story took a dark turn with the death of his father, Paul, during a dangerous rescue mission to save his missing mother, Zenith. This loss plunged Rudeus into deep despair, but ultimately strengthened his resolve to move forward alongside his loved ones.
This emotional contrast between fulfillment and grief is one of the defining traits of Mushoku Tensei, setting the stage for even greater developments in the upcoming season.
What to Expect in Season 3
The third season will adapt content continuing from the original light novels and promises an even more intense and dramatic arc than before. According to the announcement, viewers can expect:
- A new, more turbulent journey for Rudeus
- Greater emotional stakes and complex relationships
- Stronger enemies and more dangerous conflicts
- Major character developments that significantly impact the story’s direction
Season 3 is positioned as a turning point where the consequences of Rudeus’s past decisions become impossible to ignore.
Teaser Visual Highlights: Eris Returns
The newly released teaser visual features Eris Boreas Greyrat, one of the series’ most beloved characters. In the final episode of Season 1, Eris left Rudeus without explanation to embark on a harsh training journey, determined to become strong enough to stand beside and protect him.
In the teaser:
